2017 Le Corton

The 2017 Corton Blanc Grand Cru comes from Les Bressandes and is matured in 20% new oak. The nicely detailed bouquet offers white peach, peppermint, citrus fruit and green apples all vying for attention. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity, and very elegant and harmonious. Hints of apricot and peach appear toward the sustained finish. Everything is kept in check by the acidity, completing a superb Corton Blanc.

Opening with aromas of waxy lemon rind, pasty cream and dried white flowers, the 2017 Corton Grand Cru Blanc is medium-bodied, tensile and tight-knit, with impressive concentration, length and structural integrity despite its ripeness. As usual, the vast majority of this cuvée derives from Corton Bressandes.
